Reports from those who recently entered the Great Seal indicate that the Empire is in complete chaos. The Imperial capital was struck by an unprecedented earthquake during the Cataclysm, leading to the collapse of many buildings and widespread fires throughout the city. We have reports from an eyewitness that the Palace was completely destroyed in the crisis and the disposition of the Imperial family is unknown. The Senate has urged that the people remain calm, but widespread looting has been reported. We will be following this story and will be updating our readers as it develops.
